Nothing wrong with friend at all as a person. They have never once been rude to me or hurt me. They are always warm and always help me with needed.

But sometimes I feel they can be a bit too health conscious and nitpicky when coming to food. Obviously what they put into their body is their choice but they seem to be a bit too strict. They never judge me for what I do and to be fair to them they are in great shape and health.

Like when eating food they rigorously calorie count. When we were having breakfast and having boiled eggs and they only ate the egg white and left the egg yolk because it has too many calories apparently. We went for Mexican and get asked if we want totopos with the salas and they'd rather not because the tortilla chips have too many calories.

When going to pub they just order water. Obviously nobody has to order alcohol. Many times I don't as well. But they won't order a juice or even a coke zero.. because they are strictly no alcohol, no sugar and no caffeine whatsoever. They won't have a lemonade or any other soft drink. Just water.

I wouldn't say it's a disorder as they do eat food and they exercise and seem to be in good shape and health. But I just feel at time it's a bit too much. Like egg yolk is perfectly healthy.

You’re being obtuse. Your friend obviously has an eating disorder.

I'm not a fan of performative behaviour of any kind. I'll go and see a play if I want to watch a live performance. I've no problem if anyone needs to calorie count, that works well for a lot of people, but do it discreetly.

Yeah this person doesn't sound fun to eat out with.

It is joyless and definitely within the realms of disordered eating - it’s extreme control. And the egg yolk is the good bit, that’s where all the nutrients and good for you stuff lurks!

That's what I thought!!
